Summary

Introduction and Background

The podcast begins with an introduction of James Weiskerger, a real estate broker who owns Next Step Realty. He has created a subdivision of Next Step Realty called W Home Group, which is composed of top realtors in the area. The group was formed with the intention of creating a team filled with smart, savvy agents who share the same passion for growing the business. Next Step Realty has been in operation for about six years, and the team has been in business for almost eight months. They are expected to end the year as one of the top 10 real estate groups in Maryland.

Choosing the Right Team

James Weiskerger emphasizes the importance of identifying traits in people that cannot be trained, such as work ethic. He can usually tell quickly who the good realtors are based on their interaction and customer service. Most of his team were realtors who either were in the business or were people he brought from other sales backgrounds into the real estate business.

The Real Estate Landscape

The podcast discusses the changing landscape of real estate, with consumers now having more power due to the same search tools that realtors have. James Weiskerger notes that their search tools allow them to look up non-MLS listed homes, which is data that consumers can't get. As the online platform continues to grow, most of their attention for marketing is spent online because that's where the buyers are shopping.

Maintaining Uniqueness and Integrity

James Weiskerger discusses the importance of maintaining uniqueness and integrity in their business. He notes that while other realtors may do one-off events, his team is consistent in their marketing and customer engagement efforts. He believes that any marketing piece needs to be consistent and given a fair amount of time to evaluate its effectiveness.

Key Metrics

James Weiskerger pays most attention to the revenue created by their agents. This number reflects not only how well the agents are doing, but also how well the company itself is doing.
